Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (abbreviated as BJJ) is a fantastic full-body, functional workout, and it’s a blast to learn. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is considered by many to be the most reliable and effective self-defense system on the planet. It is used by many branches of the military, police departments, and security professionals worldwide.

BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger opponent by using leverage and proper techniques - most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat your opponent.
